                             (CUSIP No. 291575108)

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

               This Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") relates
to and amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on October 1, 1997 (the
"Original Schedule 13D") and is being filed to reflect the sale of shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer, as described below, and to reflect the fact that, as
of December 12,1997, none of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be subject
to the reporting requirements of Section 13 in connection with the Issuer. Any
capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to it in the Original Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended by replacing the sixth paragraph
therein with the following:

               The Partnership is making this filing because it has disposed of
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for which it has voting and investment
power and because it no longer may be deemed to be subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 in connection with the Issuer.

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended further by adding the following
sentence to the final paragraph therein:

               Further, each of LMI and Mr. Old is making this filing because,
as of December 12, 1997, neither may be deemed to be subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 in connection with the Issuer.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended by replacing it with the
following:

               In two private transactions on December 12, 1997, the Partnership
sold 60,000 shares of Common Stock for a total price of $180,000.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended by replacing the first sentence
therein with the following:

               The Partnership sold the shares of Common Stock described in Item
3, above and to which this Amendment No. 1 relates for purposes of its
investment objectives.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended by replacing paragraph (I) with
the following:

        (I) The Partnership beneficially holds an aggregate of 239,270 shares of
Common Stock, which constitutes 4.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended further by replacing the second
sentence of paragraph (II) with the following:

               Therefore, LMI may be deemed to be the aggregate beneficial owner
of 239,270 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 4.1% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended further by replacing the third
sentence of paragraph (III) with the following:

               Therefore, Mr. Old may be deemed to be the aggregate beneficial
owner of 239,270 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes 4.1% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended further by replacing paragraphs
(c) and (e) as follows:

               (c) As reflected in Item 3, above, on December 12, 1997, the
Partnership disposed of 60,000 shares of Common Stock for $3.00 per share in two
privately negotiated transactions. Except as discussed in this Item 5(c), no
transactions in shares of Common Stock were effected in the past 60 days by any
of the Reporting Persons.

               (e) As of December 12, 1997, none of the Reporting Persons could
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the shares of
Common Stock.

                                                                SEC 1746 (12-91)
